Solution Focused Brief Therapy Certificate

Learn to establish rapport, explain the solution focused brief therapy process, set goals, and use miracle questions with questioning and scaling techniques, plus a letter and session note.

Establish rapport by greeting the client, inviting brief venting, and building a back-and-forth conversation to support therapy engagement; ask about goals and hopes, and explain how solution-focused brief therapy works.

Use the initial session note sheet in solution focused brief therapy to guide goals with best hope, miracle questions, reciprocal relationship questions, scaling, and plans for obstacles and strategies.

Explore a solution-focused brief therapy initial session, demonstrating goal setting, reframing, miracle questions, detailing, and scaling techniques to help clients stay calm and improve family interactions.

Explore components of subsequent and final solution focused therapy sessions, begin by reviewing what brought the client to therapy, and use a scaling question to determine if session is final.

Adapt solution-focused brief therapy to other modalities by applying its core components to coaching, hypnotherapy, meditation, business, and daily life.

Explore how the solution focused brief therapy approach to goal setting applies across modalities—coaching, parenting, hypnotherapy, and business—by creating positive, measurable, and specific goals.

Adapt further exploration questions to help clients articulate goals, using open-ended questions to explore possibilities when obstacles arise. Apply astute, positive questioning strategies to broaden approaches.
